Our power has been off and on so many times I could retire again if someone would pay me a $10 / time per week. I make a mean Ritz cracker with crunchy peanut butter for sure. Did score some wildflower honey to mix with the peanut butter yesterday too.🤗😋 Hang in there in cold and snowy Texas.......hey wait that's supposed to be Ohio's line !

We've been watching you all on TV good luck and hang in there ! Only one more hour below freezing with only one more brief touch of it @ 32F overnight Sun. From then on for at least two weeks no more freezing weather. Now the state is trying to recover potable drinking water as they fix all broken mains and individual breaks in homes. Our 2 kids both live within 5 min. but their side of the main street is on boil while we are not. They bring their families here for showers and fill containers from our "good" water. My daughter gets a refill of their propane today they think. They were down to less that 10% which they use for keeping the house above 50F inside. Worst we got was 58F during one of the rolling blackouts when it was 5F outside. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
